I've got a few minutes between events with relatives (so ready to go home, sigh) so I thought I'd start noting my shopping and wardrobe plans for next year. I want to continue with the 'wear it or out it goes' idea for winter, and also get onto a one in, one out basis for new items that I buy, now that my weight has stabilized and I have a base wardrobe to work from. I also want to decide on a monthly budget and track that - right now I am leaning toward $250 per month, but that will include not only clothes but also other incidentals like books, magazines, music, coffee etc and maybe salon visits.

Incidentally, my holiday travel capsule has been doing really well on the trip so far. I didn't get any pics of it before we left but maybe I can when we get back - with bonus commentary.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.
